Water in Winter
John:
These save on work for me and David, plus once the birds are producing eggs for hatching I want water available to them all the time.
FYI...of the two birds closest to the waterer, one is a Buckeye and the other a Cheesehead. Sorry, no Ameraucanas were available for this photo.

HI, John, what is a cheesehead???? BTW, last year i had a few combs that were frost bitten dark grey... I applied vit. E from capsules and after about a week they started turning red again. (The vit E. i used actually had selenium also). eliz

It\'s just another nickname for a Wisconsinite.
Since a Buckeye is a breed of chicken and also a nickname for an Ohioan, I referred to the other chicken that came from Wisconsin as a Chessehead. The breed is actually Chantecler.
It was my attempt at a \"little\" inside humor and knew that Mike would understand.
eliz:
Gotcha, Thanks,,,,eliz
Mike Gilbert:
Being a native Wisconsinite, I naturally assumed EVERYONE knows we are called cheeseheads. Even our Packer fans wear cheese shaped/colored headgear at games. When John called the bird a Cheesehead I knew it was one that came from here.
